Goals of the transport administration organisation

419.04.23

• A comprehensive, effective approach to the preparation and implementation of transport policies• From separate optimation of individual forms of transport to a transport

system-level perspective

• Better consideration for the customers' entire travel and transport chain

• Allocating resources as a whole with maximised efficiency and influence

• Versatile selection of means to deploy

• Synergies• Merging and coordinating activities with similar content

• Productivity and efficiency• Best practices, common procedures

• Efficient use and controlled development of resources

• Increased competencies, co-operation and innovation

Operational development project at Trafi- changes as of 1.1.2012

6

• Implementation of the transport system perspective

• Proactive influencing at both international and national level

• Moving towards a responsible transport culture (responsibility: balance between the interests of safety, the environment, industries and citizens)

• Improving service quality and efficiency by developing professional skills, task distribution and organisational structure, and by using our resources more flexibly

• Clearer separation between regulation and supervision

• The reform prepares the ground for risk-based safety management system

ITS in FinlandITS in Finland


ITS in Finland


Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

19.04.23 13

• Improving smooth and safe travel by means of information and communication technologies

• Intelligent services make travel easier and more predictable for citizens, whether they choose private motoring or public transport.

• ITS is much more than just road tolls

•Value added services:• PAYD insurance

• Parking , logbook

• Fleet management

• Traffic alerts

• Navigation and so on…


Finland’s national intelligent transport strategy

19.04.23 14

• Vision for intelligent transport in 2020: the Finnish transport system will be one of the most advanced and efficient in the world

• Traffic will flow more easily and will be more environmentally friendly and safe.

• A transport system operated in real time will provide travellers with constant travel and transport information as well as information on any conditions affecting them.

• The transport infrastructure and transport services will be used significantly more efficiently than now.

• Transport policy will address transport problems, not merely construct infrastructure

• Cost-effective logistics will improve Finland’s competitiveness.• Finnish businesses will produce innovations that are further

developed into successful ITS exports. Transport between Finland and Russia will be made smoother through a project to be launched on intelligent transport.

Finland’s national intelligent transport strategy

19.04.23 15

Finland’s intelligent transport strategy lists eight key

projects, including:

• A national mobile public transport payment system

• Wireless broadband for trains and buses

• Public transport signal priorities

• An open joint database for public transport

• Vehicle safety systems (eCall, alcolock, warning system at levelcrossings, active & automatic feedback to driver)

• The possible introduction of a GPS-based road charging system in the 2010s




Trafi’s role in the ITS?

• The safety authority• Vehicles and drivers at centre stage• Promotion of a responsible traffic culture and responsible choices

• Safety and environmental targets• ITS/road tolls promote responsible choices and a culture of safety• Knowhow and feedback as well as guidance to get change under way

• The registration authority• National vehicle information systems play a crucial role in building ITS-

services and the road toll system.

• The road tax authority• Knowhow of the duties of the road tax authority

• eCall (automated emergency call system) and HeERO-project• Trafi takes over national coordinator’s role in HeERO (Harmonised eCall

European Pilot) in 2012

Administrative preconditions Administrative preconditions for road toll systemsfor road toll systems


EU ITS Directive (2010/40/EU)

• The directive establishes a framework and general preconditions for a coordinated and systematic deployment and use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in the European Union and especially across national borders.

• The directive applies to road transport ITS applications and services and to interfaces with other modes of transport.

• The directive includes provisions on developing specifications for priority areas as well as on introducing standards, where necessary.• Optimal use of road and traffic information

• Continuity of ITS services related to transport and freight coordination

• ITS applications related to ensuring traffic safety and security

• Linking vehicles to the transport infrastructure

• All of the actions have implications on the duties of national registration authorities.

19.04.23 18


EETS Directive on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community (2004/52/EC)

• Commission Decision 2009/750/EC• EETS = Electronic European Tolling Service must be

available:• for heavy goods vehicles in October 2012 • for others in October 2014.

• National EETS registers: July 2010 (www.trafi.fi/EETS)• EETS road toll domain specifications: October 2010• EETS Application Guide• Specifications and standardisation is now under way

• Expectations for October 2012:• Formal obligations fulfilled in almost all Member States• Practically, some crucial elements still weak or missing

19.04.23 19


What does EETS mean?EETS model (CECARE III)

• EETS Providers • Offer toll services across the EU and compete

with each other (potentially also by means of value added services); they provide users with the necessary payment devices.

• Toll Chargers• Toll Chargers have an obligation to accept all

users who have a working EETS-certified payment device and a valid contract with any EETS Provider.

• Toll Chargers cannot refuse to sign cooperation agreements with registered service providers.

• Other roles:• Conciliation Body (Competition Authority?)

• Notified Body (= EETS certification body)

• National Reporting Authority (ministry-level)

• Registration Authority (Trafi)

• Authority for assessing and certifying service providers (ministry –level)

• System vendors (industry)

• Users can choose an EETS Provider or use local payment services

19.04.23 20


Administrative requirements – issues identified so far• Data ownership - who owns the collected data

• Data collection and data use• What data should be stored in national registers

• For what purposes can f.ex public authorities use the data?

• Equality and non-discrimination• the pricing of the devices and costs to citizens

• Roles and responsibilities of public authorities• Administrative duties – down to public authorities or delegated to service

providers

• Information security and data protection issues• will be laid down in law in order to maintain an adequate level of data protection

and privacy.

• Monitoring is always the responsibility of public authorities.• Possibilities of automated monitoring

• If pay-per-use charges are to be extended to foreign vehicles, the charges must be EETS-compatible

19.04.23 21

How ITS can help How ITS can help registration authorities?registration authorities?


Intelligent registration services

•What can Intelligent Transport Systems contribute to the work of registration authorities?

• Increased efficiency with the help of information and communications technology

•Fewer customer contacts with service providers thanks to efficient service processes

•Electronic self-service available online

•On-road vehicle inspections, intelligent registration plates and intelligent driving licences in the future

19.04.23 23


Possibilities

•The new way of collecting data to registers• Data can be more automated collected and stored as

close to source as possible and a part of operators’ own processes

• Also the ’hard to collect’ –data is now easier to collect• Ex. data about drivers driving behavior

•The new way of using data• More information – more data to analyse

• Risk-based safety management system

•New needs and expectations for the governement and registration authorities
